Padangbai Harbour
Padangbai Harbour is Bali’s main gateway for ferries and fast boats bound for Lombok, the Gili Islands, and Nusa Penida. Unlike a formal ferry terminal, boats including vehicle ferries, high speed tourist launches, and local inter island vessels stop just off the shore in the shallow crescent of the bay. Passengers disembark onto smaller tenders or wade through knee to waist deep water to reach the sandy beach, with exact depth depending on the tide and vessel size.
Where is Padangbai Harbour located?
It is located on the southeastern coast of Bali, in the village of Padangbai, Karangasem Regency. The main harbor lies directly on the town’s central beach area, along Jalan Silayukti, nestled in a shallow, curved bay. See in Google Map »
